Application filed December 22, 1899. Renewed September Z6 1900. SerialNo. 31,135. (No model.)

To aZZ whmn it may concern:

Be it known that LWILLIAM HENRY GRAEB- NER, acitizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State ofWisconsin, have invented new and usef UlIIIIpIOVGIlIGIJESlHOuff-Holders,of which the following is a'specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cuff-holders.

The object of my invention is to provide a form of holder which will notsoil the exterior surface of the cuff and which can be easily andquickly adjusted in position, various adjustments being provided for.

In the following description reference is bad to the accompanyingdrawings,inwhich Figure l is a plan view of my invention. Fig. 2 is aside view of the clasp. Fig. 3 is a view of a sleeve and cuff, showingmy invention as it is applied thereto.

Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters throughout theseveral views.

The strip of leather or other flexible mate rial A is adapted to besecured to the sleeve of the wearer and is provided with a series ofeyelets B, preferably metallic. A spring-actuated clasp O is providedwith a stud D,- adapted to engage in the eyelets B of the strip A, andfrom this clasp O the cuff is supported by means of a twisted-wire shankE, in which a button F is interlaced near one end. The button is adaptedto engage in the buttonhole of the cuff, as shown in Fig. 3, and thewire projects for a short distance beyond the button, so that the end ofthe wire will not slip through the buttonhole.

It will be observed in Fig. 1 that one end G of the wire E is passedthrough the clasp C on its pivotal axis and headed, so as to form thepivot or pin therefor. The other end H of the wire E is coiledtransversely around the pivot-pin G, so as to form a bearing to preventthe longitudinal movement of the clasp C.

The strip A is fastened to the sleeve of the user, preferably along oneside, as indicated in Fig. 3. The button F is inserted through thebuttonhole of the cuff from beneath, and

the clasp is then adjusted with the stud D engaging in any desiredeyelet of the strip A.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

'1. A cuif-holder, comprising a twisted-wi re shank; abutton interlacedtherein near one end; and a suitable clasp secured to the other end ofsaid shank, and adapted to engage at one or more points of support onthe sleeve of the user, substantially for the purpose setforth.

2. A cuif-holder, comprising a twisted-wire shank; a button interlacedtherein near one end; and a spring-actuated clasp having one end of saidwire extended therefrom to form a pivotal axis, substantially for thepurpose set forth.

3. A cuif-holder, comprising a twisted-wire shank; a button interlacedtherein near one end; a spring-actuated clasp secured to the other endof said shank and provided with a stud on the interior surface of one ofthe clamping-jaws; and a strip of flexible material provided witheyelets for the reception of said stud, and adapted to be secured to thesleeve of the user, substantially for the purpose set forth.

4. A cuff-holder, comprising a shank provided near one end with meansfor engaging the buttonhole of a 'cufi; a spring-actuated clasp securedto the other end of said shank ina laterally-projecting position, andprovided with studs on the interior surface of one of its clamping-jaws;and a supportingstrip of flexible material extending in a linesubstantially parallel to that of the shank, and provided with eyeletsin which said stud is adapted to engage, substantially for the purposeset forth.
